Hazing involved 12-year-olds

It's the story that never stops: Hazing in sports.
From now-pro hockey players stuffing naked major junior hockey players naked into a bus washroom while coaches ignored it to heavy bottles tied to boys' genitals, minor hockey players too often continue to think sexual exploitation is a team bonding technique.
They should be content with hitting the showers.
The latest example of hazing gone public - although the details from the school are not public and transparent enough to change the world - comes from Montreal where a school hockey team with boys as young as 12 was caught in a hazing ritual. Maybe it was an "elephant walk" where naked boys parade in public in a line holding each other's private parts. Maybe it was forced streaking.
CBC has a story, and note how the team coach failed to deal with it.

Major midget binges

Another minor hockey season and a new story about drinking games involving midget hockey players - this one a major midget team in LaSalle, Ont.
It's alleged a hazing game involved players, none of whom are of legal drinking age in Ontario, drinking until they passed out. The event was at the home of a player.
Last year, an Ontario midget team was folded for the season due to drinking.
And on the hazing front, a team in Manitoba got into trouble for an incident involving trying water bottles to players' genitals.
The Montreal Gazette has the story.
